Honestly I prefer WCIII over SC2 (can't say much about BW because I don't have a ton of experience with it), because it was my first real RTS, has a slower pace, better story (in my opinion; at least, it struck home to me), and was the first pro-scene I payed attention to. WCIII fighting! | ||

Not sure how active either of those have been, I've been pretty distracted with other things lately... | ||

Also, while playing HU FE style, I find that I wind up floating a ton of gold even when I'm making footies constantly, with a shortage in wood once I hit t2 casters. What should I be using as my "gold dump"? (Hilarious recent HU mirror replay for you guys btw, where 2 rax with 5 foots queued up on each by Sky just barely keeps gold low, hahaha: http://w3g.replays.net/doc/cn/2012-4-6/13337532760493877558.html.) Hopeless with Orc, ironically enough. I just can't play BM. FS is fine, but the low dps, slow, fat grunts frustrate me to no end. Props to all you guys who play Orc. -.- This also makes me feel absolutely dumb since I've had this game for forever, but I just realized War3 had a control subgroups option in the ... well, Options menu. No more of that control+click crap, just control+command. Mind blown when I discovered this. | ||

Also, Blademaster shits on mass dragonrider, apparently. It takes like zero damage and with the ranged orb just makes them die, it's stupid. I think it's a good build though if you transition into sorc / priest / breakers, or at least mix them in. Anyhow, good to be playing this again! My handle is jeeeeohn on East Coast if you guys see me on. :D | ||

Generally if you want air, you need to do a more standard fast expand with mass towers and tech hard to Tier3 for Tri-Hero + Gryphon +Dhawks. Otherwise you won't have the money to maintain your army, or have minimal map presence off a 1-base economy which means you will be severely outcreeped, Super BM = you dead. In the meantime your goal should be to creep with militia if you want standard Archmage WE, otherwise AM+MK Blizz+Clap will allow you to harass his peon lines immensely. You'll be in low upkeep so you can spend $ on spare TPs' to harass him, with this tactic you can also incorporate Tier2 casters off 1 Arcane Sanctum. A priest or two to heal, and Sorcs+Invis for the harass. Standard also would be to get a Blacksmith asap after beginning tech to T2 to get Air Armor (Counters Batriders) then you can add a 2nd BS for Attack if you so choose. 3rd hero choices are up to you, either Bloodmage (Banish is amazing. Bolt + Gryphon fire = Dead as hell Blademaster) or Paladin with Heal. | ||

You need something else to compliment this army, also generally you shouldn't be going GA High Tech air units without committing to that strategy.

Currenly on UD at the moment. I went 2-8 as human (blah), 5-5 as Orc, and I'm currently 4-0 as Undead, which was my main race when I played years ago I think it's more indicative of the matchmaking system than me being particularly good, but whatever. 4 wins in a row is pretty impressive no matter how you slice it. That's a good point about piercing damage and heroes. I discovered this in my last UD game vs an orc, when I went mass gargs (because he inexplicably thought massing grunts would work...these are the people I'm playing, lol). I had to throw in a lich and like 10-12 ghouls after I teched and got my expo up just to hold off his BM. Something I definitely need to work on is my micro. SC2 has definitely helped me just because it's 10 times as fast as Warcraft 3, but I still should take a more active role in battles instead of just watching the pretty lights. I am focusing my targets more effectively, but after that I kind of just micro my hero around and forget about my main army. I'm just lucky that in most engagements I've had either a better unit comp or better upgrades or both.One hilarious game as Orc: I was playing against Human, and I was behind the whole game. I attack his expansion and he leaves all of a sudden. I watch the replay and he apparently he lost his ENTIRE army + heroes to creeps. Needless to say I was laughing my ass off. Happy gaming, thanks for the advice! | ||

I toggle between focusing too much on hero micro and losing my army (like you do) or focusing too much on my army and losing my hero. Or focusing too hard on both and losing my second hero. Lose-lose-lose situation. T_T Sometimes I just skip the second hero anyways (shame on me) because I figure it's going to die, so what the hell. Ugh. | ||

Ugh. Then there are the "wtf just happened fights" where you get pwned for some reason. Also, I keep getting dropped from battle.net. Happened two games in a row, both around the 11 minute mark. sigh | ||

Because my internet connection is fine. Oh well. I'm on right now Babylon if you read this! :D I'd love to do a battle report or two if we play. I'm on US East Coast as jeeeeohn | ||

I play b.net, but could garena if preferred. U.S West, usually on Friday and Sunday, 5-8pm Australian Eastern Standard Time (this could be an issue), so that's 12:00am - 3am PDT and 3am-6am EDT, and 9am-noon CET. Gee... I guess i'm of a decent level, current b.net stats (read between the lines) are 35-16 or something similar. If anyone is down for a couple of games let me know and maybe we can work around the time zone differences (i can be flexible). Oh, and of course my ID (again, US west), is ohsea.toc The night beckons. | ||
